How to Dunk/Roll when a few Pins already present???

Well I've searched the forum and couldn't find any tips on this. My friend has a few jars ready to berth and two of them already have pins. He definitely wants to dunk and roll. Should he just wipe the verm off the pins after word or try to avoid getting verm on them at all? Thank you!

Well I'd do the dunk and roll. Before birthing and after each flush. I will garentee that you will see a difference. The verm on the outside of the cake isn't to replace lost moisture but to give the growing shrooms a source of moisture to draw from. Simply put, you want bigger flushes and shrooms, do a dunk and roll or dunk and case.

Why dont you just case? I have gotten up to 30 shrooms with casing a half pint grain cake and I added a little bit of gypsum.

Wait - I thought the dunk & roll was for after the second or third flush - can you (or should you, rather) do it even *before* pins appear? friend of mine has new cakes in incubator, have been in there for about 6 days, no pins yet... should she dunk and roll now or wait till later?

Yes, dunking just after birth will improve the 1st flush. What I do if there's pins is just dunk for 8-12 hours (longer will kill the pins) and then roll, avoiding the pins. Overall yields will be better and you should get everything out of the cakes quicker... saving yourself measly 4th flushes, allowing less time to contam, and more time for your next set of jars.

The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. We pay for a single fighter with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people..." President Dwight Eisenhower, 1953

So If I'm understanding correctly, once my jars are ready to be birthed, I dunk and cold shock each jar, for 24 hours, then once thats done, roll them all in steril (dry?) verm and then do so after each flush as well? do you cold shock after each flush, or is the cold shock just for the first time?

If you dunked now your substrate would just.....be real wet and nothing will grow...wait til after its completely colonized...all covered in mycelium

If the pins are very small still you can do it now, if there are shrooms starting wait.

It doesn't include the roll part but the roll is pretty much covered in this thread. Just roll cake in verm (i've seen recomendations for both wet and dry, so take your pick) or spoon on some verm after you have dunked

Forgive my ignorance, but I'm still kind of unclear as to why one should dunk & roll *before* cakes have even gone through the first flush - isn't the intention of the tek to replace lost water?
Also: does anyone know if this tek decreases potency at all?

The dunk replaces the water used during colonization and the verm gives the growing shrooms moisture to draw from. Both things lead to bigger shrooms and bigger flushes.

Question... Bodhisatta says to dunk ONLY on subsequent flushes. Is that wrong?

Bod says the opposite. Don’t roll after first. Just dunk. I guess everybody has their own opinions. This site is very interesting.
